Not the best possilbe start
Welcome to EvCForum, TheNewGuy03. I hope you find your visits interesting.
I would suggest that you read the forum guidelines. You aren't starting out on the best possible foot. In fact, you might have that one in your mouth.
So far all your posts are assertions. They have no supporting discussion and no mention of facts on which you base them. They also suggest that you haven't been reading over some of the material posted here. Everything you have brought up has been discussed.
Since we all find the ideas behind the big bang difficult you might want to start with somethings that are simpler.
You have made an assertion about dating methods not being consistent. I suggest that you take that to the dates and dating forum and discuss it there.
I would note that your definition of macroevolution as 'simply mutation' is a new one. It doesn't seem to agree with anyone's defintion both biologists and the creationists. It is not helpful to make up your own definitions for terms without going through the reasoning for doing so.
So far you have demonstrated a significant lack of any knowledge of the topics here. You might want to slow down and show me that you are wrong.
By the way, stay on topic!

Topic
NewGuy, Please stay on topic.
If you are unable to follow the forum guidelines you will find that some or all of the fora will be closed to you.
The topic guideline is not the only one you seem to be having trouble with so you might want to read over them all, very slowly and carefully. If you have questions about them you may ask in the suggestions and questions forum.

Shoved off
You haven't been "shoved off" any topic, yet.
You have simply been shoved back onto topic here and there and asked to adhere to forum guidelines.
We all wander off topic quite a bit. That is given a little more leeway than other violations.
You're not even expected to support assertions right way. You are expected to when asked.
The "something" happening is that you haven't clearly supported any of your assertions yet.
I might offer a small suggestion as well. Pick only one or two topics and work on them. If you don't you will not be able to keep up.
Myself I would suggest the dating issue and the flood. The idea of "deep time" is essential to understanding the earth. Even I would agree that evolution could not have happened if the earth is only 6,000 years old. A lot of understanding of history and geology can be had by understanding the reason why believers in the biblical flood gave up on it when studying the earth.
Another suggestion might be that you ask more questions and stop making assertions. You can not point out flaws in any reasoning until you understand the facts of the situation. You may not accept this but the truth is you do not know anything about any of this.

Nope
We don't debate web sites.
You pick specific things and discuss them. You can use the site as support and for more details.
If you think we should then read
TalkOrigins Archive: Exploring the Creation/Evolution Controversy
it will rebute everything in your site.
